I moved C++ Builder from an older Computer to a new Computer and reformatted 
the disc on the old Computer.  The old Computer was Windows XP and the new 
Computer is Windows Vista.
The first problem is that when i open C++ Builder I get the message 
"Setup.exe(1): The requested operation requires elevation".  I do not know 
what this message means.
The second problem:
I like to keep all of the files that I create for C++ Builder in a file that 
I create and name "Projects" in the C:ProgramFiles/CodeGear/RadStudio/5.0 
Directory and work from this directory rather than the C++ Builder default 
behavior Directories.  I copied the "Projects" folder from the old Computer 
and put the contents into the newly created "Projects" folder on the new 
Computer.  For some reason all of the files were converted to Read Only and 
I went through and  unchecked the Read Only Box on all of the files.  If I 
try to run a "Build" on any of the files I get two error messages.

[BCC32 Warning] CreatedGapSet.cpp(5): W8058 Cannot create pre-compiled 
header: write failed

    #include <vcl.h>

    #pragma hdrstop //line 5

[BCC32 Error} CreatedGapSet.cpp(205): F1013 Error writing output file 
//line 205 is two lines beyond the end of the code

All of the files and Projects compiled properly on the previous Computer, 
but transferring the files to the new Computer has not been seamless.

It means that setup.exe requires admin rights, but your logged in user 
account does not have them.  You will find that you are likely going to hit 
a lot of UAC (User Acess Control) issues now that you are on Vista.

That is a bad place to put them, even on XP.  The "C:\Program Files" 
hierarchy should be treated as read-only except to installers.  You should 
be storing your project files underneath your "My Documents" folder 
somewhere.  RAD STudio has a folder already set up there for you.

Because "C:\Program Files" and its subfolders are read-only to begin with.

That is Vista for you.
